Comments: | 1877: The engine for COASTGUARD is recorded as having been manufactured in 1877 |
This leaves the question of whether she was built as a stock boat and without an engine until the new owner specified what power was required. Or whether the first engine failed in some way. | |
1902: Matthew T MacMillan was a metal broker | |
